Such as hace poco tiempo-a little time.To ask if someone is still doing something you say Sigues.. followed by the activity. Some examples are:1. Te interesa jugar naipes?

Si Rosalia escribando poemas.4. Te interesta hacer crucigramas? Rosalia no interesa para nada5. Cuanto tiempo hace que coleccionar monedas? Hace mucho tiempo que rosalia coleccionar monedas.

We also worked with negative expressions nimguno ,ningun and nunguna as well as nada, nadie, and a nadieNegative expressions in spanish go either before or after the verb. If they are placed after the verb then place no before the verb. When nada and nadie are subjects they are placed before the verb.they can otherwise follow the verb or prepostition of witch they are the object. A personal a is used with nadie when it is the object of the verb.Use ninguno and ninguna to say noone or not a single one. They are generally used in the singluar and match the noun they describe in gender.Ninguno and ninguna can stand alone or they can go before a noun.If ninguna follows a verb in a sentence, the no must be placed before the verb. Ninguno Changes to ningun before a masuline singular noun.A few examples are :1.Yo creo que nadie aqu¡ tiene hambre2.mamá,estoy muy consado.No quiero hacer nada después de comer3Los vecinos tienen dos perros pero no tenemos ninguno4Yo nunca pude aprender a tejer suéteres5No encuentro ningun el crucigrama en el periódicoHace with time expressions:To talk about an event that began in the past and is still going on, use hace + time expression+ que+a verb in the present tense.here are a few expressions that can come after hace…Una hora,un dia,una semana,un mes,uno año,poco/mucho tiempo.A few expamples are:1.hace un mes que leyo ese libro2. Hace una semana que troto por las noches3. Hace poco tiempo que tienen una mascota.4.Hace unos dias que nosotros son aminadoras5.Hace un año que pablo estudia frances.Pero and sino:Pero and sino both mean but. Sino is used to say not this but that instead and is used after a negated verb. Pero is commonly used to say you like one thing but you like something else also. And is commonly used with the expression:No sólo….sino también..A few examples are:1Me encanta el piano pero no sé tocarlo.2No quiero ir al cine sino al teatro3Quiero dormir hasta tarde pero tengo clases temprano.4.Me gusta jugar a naipes pero no juego muy bien.5.Mi materia favorita no es el español sino las matemáticas.

The first grammar lesson we learned was about negative expressions. These expressions either go before or after the verb. If they are placed after the verb, place no before the verb also. When nada and nadie are subjects, they are placed before the verb. They can other wise follow the verb or the preposition of which they are the object. Use ninguno and ninguna to say none, not (a single) one. They are generally used in the singular and match the noun they describe in gender. Ninguno and ninguna can stand alone, or they can go before a noun. If ninguno(a) follows the verb in the sentence, place no before the verb. Ninguno changes to ningùn before a masculine singular noun.Examples:No salgo nunca durante los fines de semana.Nadie juega major que yo.No conozco a nadie aquì.No tengo ninguna.

2. The next grammar section we learned was about hace with time expressions. This verb is used to talk about an event that began in the past and is still going on. You use hace + time expression + que + a verb in the present tense.Hace cuatro años que Marta practica artes marciales.Hace tres meses que Philip trabaja en mecánica.Hace mucho tiempo que Hellen toma las clases de ballet.

Here are some time expressions that you can use with hace…que and a verb in the present tense.Un hora-hourUn día-dayUna semana-weekUn mes-monthUn año-yearPoco/mucho tiempo-little/much time

The last topic we discussed was about the two words that mean ‘but,’ pero and sino. Use pero to say but, as in however and use sino when you want to say but or rather, as in “Not this, but that instead.” Also, sino can only follow a negative verb. A common expression used with sino is No solo…,sino tambièn…

Negative Nunca- neverNada- nothingNadie- no oneNingún- have nothing, not to have something; used with single nounsNinguno(a)- have nothing, not to have something; used with specific nounsYo nunca fuí al fiesta.Yo tengo ningún dinero.

Pero& SinoPero is used as “however” and sino is used as “rather”Me gusta tocar el piano pero yo no bien.I like to play piano, but I’m not good.No me interesa diseñar pagínas Web sino me encanta pintar.Designing web pages doesn’t interest me but I love to paint.

Negative expressions in Spanish go either before or alter the verbThere must be a negative verb before the conjugated verb.If they are placed after the verb, place no before the verb also.Ex: no salgo nunca durante la semanaWhen nada and nadie are subjects, they are placed before the verb.Nunca = neverNada = neverNadie = no one

They can otherwise follow the verb or the preposition of which they are the objectEx nadie juega mejor que yo

Pero and sino:Use pero to say but as in however.Ex: me gusta la música clásica, pero no me gusta el jazzI like classical music, but i don’t like jazz.Me gusta el tennis pero no me gusta el futbol Americano. Use sino when you want tos ay but or rather as in not this, but that instead. Notice that sino can only follow a negated verb.Ex: No me gusta este juego sino el otro.I don’t like this game, but the other one instead.A common expression with sino is no solo… sino también

Ex: Héctor no solo estudia español, sino también francés. Hector not Only Studies Spanish, but French as well.

The third subject we learned about was activities we may like or dislike to do. Some of which are:

-crear un album: make and album-tomar clases de la guitarra: to take guitar lessons- jugar naipes: to play cards- coleccionar: to collect- trabajar en mecanica: to work on a car- reunirse en un cafe internet: to meet in a internet cafe. - tejer: to nit- trotar: to jog

We also learned how to say how long we have been doing something. We do this using the hace formula. To say how long you have been doing something, you first must say hace, + the time expression, + que, + a present tense verb.

Negitives: Nunca-neverNada-nothingNadia-no oneNingún-always with a noun

Nadie, Nunca When nada and nadie are subjects they are placed before the verb. They can follow the verb or preposition of which the object. Use the personal a with nadie when it is the object of a verb.Pero and Sino Use pero to say but, as in however. ex) Me gusta la música clásica, pero no me gusta el jazz. Use sino when you want to say but as in rather as, “not this but this..” Sino can only follow a negated verb. ex) No me gusta este juego sino el otro. ex) Me gusta los deportes, pero no me gusta el fútbol. ex) No me gusta queso caliente sino el otro.
